This year's event was our most attended Marlin-a-Thon since starting the event in 2024, with 44 of our swimmers showing up to fundraise. Together, they raised $8,191.45, crushing our $5,000 goal! This money will help ensure that no person in East County who wants to join the Y, swim team or any other Y program will be turned away based on the inability to pay.
